Do we need two books?

Can the reference tables be appendices in the Cloud Admin Guide, and rename that book "Cloud Admin Guide and Reference"?

I'm fine with it either way – though it might be nice to have everything in one place given the book isn't too big.

I just wonder what would happen if an install gal/guy needs to know how to configure something and it's in the Cloud Admin Guide instead of Config Ref. - Nermina

        listings of options, no how-to or explanatory information. Move this

    Are you suggesting that the Config References just lists parameters
    without any explanation of what they mean?  I agree with eliminating
    conceptual or how-to information and moving it to cloud admin, but
    I'm against removing explanations of what the parameters mean/do.


No, it'll be a book with just xi:includes of the current tables. What do
you think?

That makes more sense, as long as it's convenient (read: reasonably intuitive) to find the additional information for those who will need it, regardless of their function.
